Plenty of people are "aroused" by a personality. Ever heard the phrase "laughing her into bed" ?

The differences are too insignificant to count toward anything, someone of any sexuality can only feel attraction towards certain personalities.

Shall we invent a new sexuality label for straight people who are only attracted to people whose personality they gel with? Or a new sexuality label for women who only date funny guys? No, because there's no need. Just like there's no need for the label "Pansexual" !

Oh I know. Personsexual. And anyone who who doesn't agree with that stupid label can have a personaphobia label thrown at them. That's how it is in this day and age. Talk about gone too flaming far.

Does this not seem like roundabouts. Youre missing the part where pansexuals do not care for gender. it isnt the same no matter how much you want it to be.

Unless youre claiming anybody who ever would sleep with both sexes is bi, I don’t see your point.

Ain't that the definition of bisexuality right down to the T?

Nor do bisexuals, as they like both.

Bisexuals choose which gender to look for pansexuality you allow the gender to find you

They are sexually attracted to both genders.

Pan people do not care for your gender.

So sexuality is a choice, is it? Bisexuals get to "choose" who they're attracted to? Gotcha.

So how is that different to being attracted to both genders? Someone who's bi wouldn't care which gender they date.

Bisexuals decide whether to look for a man or a woman

Nice of you to speak for bisexuals. I can say that bi people may intend to look for a man or woman, but can easily fall for the other. Especially if they have a good personality!

A bi person would consider dating a man because they are sexually attracted to men and a bi person would consider dating a woman because they are sexually attracted to women. A pan person would consider dating both, but not because of sexual attraction to gender.

Again, I don't see why that needs a different label. Bi people can like both genders and prioritize personality instead of looks, and that doesn't make them "pan".

Do you draw a line between a bisexual who puts personality before sexual attraction, and someone who is "pansexual" ?

Sorry Withano but this is a massive oversimplification of the concept of attraction

Therefore a child with a cracking personality could attract the pans person..if its only personality that they become attracted to..man woman horse or child...just as long as they have the type of personality that attracts them.
